Fort Ross Mother of Pearl Chardonnay
Fort Ross Mother of Pearl Chardonnay
The Fort Ross Mother of Pearl Chardonnay is a testament to the unique terroir of the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA. This elegant wine showcases the finesse and complexity of coastal Chardonnay, offering a blend of vibrant fruit flavors and a smooth, creamy finish.
Where the Vineyards meet the Pacific Ocean!
This medium-full-bodied Chardonnay has layers of lemon blossom, zest, and oil, with creamy vanilla notes. Finished with notes of sea salt, minerality, and acidity, thanks to the cool, coastal climates and proximity to the Pacific Ocean (you can see the ocean from the vineyards!), this Chardonnay finishes with finesse, enticing the next sip!
